Damned Spot

http://damnedspot.wikispaces.com
My support wiki for the current class I've got studying Macbeth, Manga and Shakespeare... very much a work in progress!

ComicLife and Macbeth

A very quick and dirty webpage using Google Sites and Comic Life. This is something that will be used later in our study and may form the basis of one of the final artefacts for the class.

Midsummer Dreaming

https://midsummerdreaming.wikispaces.com/
The much demoed Midsummer Night's Dream wiki. This is a support site to help come to an understanding of the play.

The Caves of Mull

https://thecavesofmull.wikispaces.com/
The Caves of Mull is a pupil created 'game'. Great fun to play, and very easy to set up. A good creative writing exercise.

AH English

https://ahenglish.wikispaces.com/
Support site for this year's Advanced Higher English class and their study of Sylvia Plath. The intention is to really open this up next year so that we have more PKC pupils using wikis (either in Glow or outwith it) to enable conversation and learning to take place.

This page gets more interesting if you switch on Diigo: -> http://ahenglish.wikispaces.com/BeeBox

Big Nath's Computing page

https://bignathscomputing.wikispaces.com/
This was a wiki that one of my Higher class set up to allow them to discuss their work for their Higher Computing. The teacher didn't know about the wiki for most of the year... but you'll notice a certain David Muir of Strathclyde/Jordanhill fame as a member! Suffice to say... they all passed, though I don't know how much the wiki helped that to happen!
